The specification of a policy is performed in a policy language,
usually following a textual representation. However, humans process
images faster than text and they are prepared to process information
presented in two or more dimensions: sometimes it is easier to explain
things using figures and their graphical relations than writing textual
representations.
This paper describes a visual language, in the form of graphics that are
executed in a networking environment, to define a network management
policy. This approach allows to map visual tokens and corresponding
arrangements into other languages to which a mapping is defined.
